 I've been spending too much time on x lately, and I've noticed that the posts there have become overwhelmingly negative. Constantly seeing that kind of content isn't good for my mental health. 

That's why I've decided I'm going to start spending more time on nostr instead. I want to fill my mind with more positive and uplifting content. Nostr feels like a healthier space where I can interact with people and discover new ideas without all the negativity.

It's important to be selective about the online spaces we inhabit and the information we consume. Protecting our mental wellbeing should be a priority. I'm looking forward to a more positive online experience on nostr. 
 Visit also the Nostr events and than you also meet positive people in real life 🤙 
 Junk data does to our mind what junk food does to our body. 
 Nostr has its share of drama but the major difference is that it’s short lived and not kicked around and resurfaced by an algo 
 Hey dude
You're awesome for making a choice to be in a better state of mind =3 
 Thank you! 🙏 
 I'd recommend spending less time on social media. Take up fishing or hiking or something. 
 that's also the reason why you shouldn't consume news all the time. everything is negative and should trigger fears. 
 I've also recognized that the 'For You' stream is full of crap. Only my own follower list is useful anymore. I wish all these people would be here and I could put X in the garbage bin.

 Had a similar thought this week, 🤝 
 its because theres only 12 people on nostr ser 
 Which is why it’s great imho (to the devs dismay) lol 
 This isn’t a Wendy’s 
 We’re all 12th cousins anyway 🙏

 I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to the nostriches for the incredibly positive feedback on my post. Your kind words and support mean more to me than you know.

It's so refreshing to be part of a community that values positivity, mutual understanding, and lifting each other up. The welcoming and constructive atmosphere on nostr has been such a welcome change from the negativity I was experiencing elsewhere online.

Thank you for creating a space where I feel comfortable being my authentic self and sharing my thoughts and feelings in the future. The encouragement I've received has given me a much-needed boost and inspired me to continue being more intentional about the content I consume and the digital spaces I inhabit.

This community is truly special, and I'm honored to be a part of it. I look forward to many more uplifting interactions and engaging discussions with all of you. You're making a real difference!

 I was a little concerned coming here from X that I would find a dark 4chan-like abyss (I'm sure it's here as well) but so far I've found mostly folks that need a breather and as you mentioned, want to lift each other up 
 Gfy 
 Based! 😂👍 
 Yay 🥳

 Last week on X, I muted several words and phrases used by accounts that inflame and use drama for engagement. The X-peer-ience (😂 - I make lame jokes and then laugh at them -) has improved quite a bit. 

Scrolling through it all was stealing my energy. I decided I no longer wanted to give permission for that to happen.  
 Same, X is toxic. The algo is cranked to max there. Almost like tik Tok.
